When I played the game, I thought Squall was developing feelings for Rinoa all the way throughout the game. He showed Rinoa a bit of interest on Disc 1, he was warming up to the idea of being with her and with his friends on Disc 2, he became a hopeless romantic on Disc 3 and he stopped saying "Whatever" on Disc 4 (not to mention he smiled and kissed her).
